How to save and close all open documents in Word

In Word, you can open multiple documents at once and view them at the same time. But what if you have made changes to all open documents and now want to quickly save and close them all at once? It’s easy to do, and we’ll teach you how to do it later.

In early versions of Word (before 2007), when you press the Shift team Save (Save) located in the menu File (File), changed to save all (Save all), and the command Close (Close) – on Close all (Close all). Starting with the version of Word 2007, the Ribbon appeared instead of the classic menu, and on the tab File (File) no more commands save all (Save all) and Close all (Close all). Dont be upset! These two commands still exist in Word. We’ll show you how to add them to the Quick Access Toolbar.

To add commands save all (Save all) and Close all (Close all) on the Quick Access Toolbar, click the down arrow on the right side of the toolbar and select Other teams (More Commands).
